Painting a Smoker's / Hoarder's House

How to clean and paint a smoker’s house with thick smoke, tar and nicotine on all of the walls. I started by cleaning the walls with TSP cleaner then sanded with 120 grit sandpaper using my Wen drywall sander. After sanding, I primed the walls and ceiling with cover stain oil base primer and then applied Behr paint plus primer. End product the walls look close to new. This method is the fastest way I have used to paint when everything needs done.

Wife after watching the video: you look rough. Maybe take a nap 😴. Me: Work doesn’t get done when u sleep. Haha

I love this. I usually go with a light gray color just because it hides more stuff. I also paint the walls a light gray also. Tenants don't care what the colors are. They just want a safe place that's clean and affordable. Keep up the amazing work.

Washed my new apartments walls, previously owned by a smoker, with vinegar/ water solution 40%. Am very happy with the result. It's a bit of work scrubbing walls but definitely worth it.

Did you have to thin out the paint before using it on the machine?

@Speedaholics Жыл бұрын

I'm in a similar situation. I'm having the whole house deep cleaned, and then I will prime the walls with the Zinsser Bin shellac primer, and then finally repaint. I'd do the same to the ceilings but they are unfortunately popcorn, and I don't have a sprayer / experience using one, so leaving that to the professionals. In your situation, did this process remove the smell?

@handylandlord Жыл бұрын

Yes. This definitely helped the smell a lot. I was back in the place for a repair recently and you would never know it was smoked in. I couldn't smell anything.

How'd you get them out of there? Hoarders are like bed bugs they never want to leave

It was a process. Eviction, came to an agreement at court for her to leave on a certain date. At the end she told me she was happy it was over.

The 18 is the only way if I have a whole house to paint. Thanks for watching.

I forgot to ask What did you do to the ceiling?

@handylandlord 3 жыл бұрын

I used cover stain oil base primer on all ceilings then painted with Behr antique white. I use the same color on walls and ceiling.

@jgg204 Жыл бұрын

Is that the Behr Antique White, or Sherwin Antique White tint?

@handylandlord Жыл бұрын

Behr Antique white I use paint plus primmer, eggshell

@elvitalarado9697 Жыл бұрын

Won’t it still smell if you didn’t clean the ceiling?

@handylandlord Жыл бұрын

Ceiling was painted flat white. Hard to clean flat paint. Cover-stain or Bin primmer will lock in the smell.

Can u not use the sprayer for the entire wall??

@handylandlord 3 жыл бұрын

This type of sprayer isn’t designed to spay the entire wall. I’ve sprayed paneling and wood work before but not the whole wall.

Why did you not tsp the ceiling?

@handylandlord 10 ай бұрын

The paint sheen was flat in some rooms, so the tsp / water was absorbing into ceiling.

How many rentals you got

@handylandlord Жыл бұрын

This is a common question I get asked. Mostly answer with just a few. I’ve always wanted to match my number of rentals to my age but always a few short. Haha
